| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm A.J. Hoag, the Director of Effortless English. |
| 0:08.0 | And I have been teaching English for, wow, over 12 years. |
| 0:15.0 | And while teaching English, I have found in many countries all around the world that many students have the same kinds of problems, unfortunately. |
| 0:28.0 | For example, I have found that most students read well but speak badly. Do you sometimes feel that you read English well, but you do not speak English well. |
| 0:46.4 | I'm sure this is very difficult for you. |
